Midnight Special is a science fiction film directed by Jeff Nichols. The movie follows the story of Roysenberg "Roy" Tomlin (played by Michael Shannon), a father who goes on the run with his son, Alton Meyer (played by Jaeden Martell), after discovering that Alton possesses extraordinary supernatural abilities.
The film begins with Roy and his friend Lucas (played by Joel Edgerton) escaping from a religious cult led by Calvin Meyer (played by Sam Shepard), who is also Alton's adoptive father. Calvin believes that Alton's powers are a divine gift and that he is the key to an upcoming apocalyptic event. On the other hand, Roy, who is Alton's biological father, starts to question the cult's beliefs and its treatment of his son.
Alton possesses the ability to transmit coded information, which leads to the cult gaining high-level government secrets and valuable classified information. The FBI becomes involved and an NSA analyst, Paul Sevier (played by Adam Driver), begins to investigate the situation. Sevier discovers that Alton's powers are not just limited to transmitting information but also include other unknown supernatural abilities.
As Roy and Lucas try to keep Alton safe and find a way to understand and control his powers, they embark on a dangerous journey across multiple states. Alton's powers have physical consequences, causing him to wear goggles to protect his eyes and making him sensitive to sunlight. They also come with inexplicable cosmic occurrences, such as causing satellites to crash.
During their journey, they encounter an old childhood friend of Roy's, Sarah (played by Kirsten Dunst), who joins them in their quest to protect Alton. As they evade capture and encounter unexpected hurdles, they ultimately make their way to a specific location in Florida, guided by Alton's visions and the coded information.
The climax of the movie takes place at a satellite launch site, where Alton's true purpose is revealed. As the world watches, Alton uses his powers to open a portal to another dimension or alternate reality. It becomes clear that he is not merely a beacon for an apocalyptic event but is part of a larger cosmic plan.
Midnight Special explores themes of parenthood, faith, the importance of personal identity, and the lengths to which a parent will go to protect their child. The film showcases intense chase sequences, mystery, and a sense of wonder as it delves into the enigmatic and extraordinary abilities possessed by Alton.
